Choosing Sunglasses for Glaucoma: 4 Essential Features to Consider

Sunglasses are a must-have for glaucoma patients during summer. A study reported that almost 70% of glaucoma patients are photosensitive to glare from the sun or any light source. Due to their photosensitivity to glare, glaucoma patients struggle with daily activities, such as spending time outside or driving a car.
Glaucoma patients should consider the following features when choosing sunglasses:
Polarizing filter
To minimize the glare from the sun, you must look for sunglasses with special polarized lenses. Polaroid usually offers timeless designs and colorful frames. However, the brand is also known for developing polarizing sunglasses filters that can effectively block glare without affecting the penetration of light on the lenses. Though Polaroid invented this filter, glaucoma patients can now find plenty of brands that offer this polarizing filter for their sunglasses.
Prescription lenses
You need to order prescription sunglasses from brands that can replace standard sunglass lenses with customized ones. Popular eyewear brands Ray-Ban and Oakley can accommodate your prescription needs and adjust the lenses of their sunglasses to help correct your vision. Through these prescription sunglasses, you can address refractive errors and reduce the glare problems caused by glaucoma at the same time.
Photochromic features
You can also protect your eyes from glare and correct your vision by using glasses with photochromic features.
Unlike prescription sunglasses, these glasses have lenses that can transition to a different shade based on outdoor conditions. These photochromic lenses will remain clear while you’re indoors, then change into a much darker shade once you step outside and get exposed to sunlight. Eyewear brands like Shuron, Costa, and Kate Spade offer photochromic lenses that can change from a clear color to gray, brown, or even green once you’re outdoors. You can even customize these photochromic lenses and add polarizing filters so that your eyes can easily adjust as you travel around this summer.
UV filter
Glaucoma patients should also wear sunglasses to protect their eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays. These rays do not directly affect glaucoma, but they can increase one’s risk of having cataracts, macular degeneration, and even cancer.
Glaucoma patients can experience discomfort and even put themselves at risk due to the intensity of sunlight. However, you can protect and improve their vision by looking for sunglasses with features that are suitable to their needs.
